Gaspari Nutrition : Aminolast Intra-Workout

It seems that nearly every supplement company are releasing their own BCAA product now that there is adequate research which has been published to show the effectiveness of BCAA supplementation. Everyone is trying to make a ground-breaking product that will stand out from the rest by creating a unique formula or adding extra ingredients which will catch a consumer’s eye.

How does Aminolast stack up?

BCAA and EAA Matrix

Aminolast has at its core 10g of amino acids of which over 7g are branched chain amino acids (BCAA's) which are both most present in muscle tissue and the amino acids that do most to drive muscle recovery and growth. BCAA's are classed as essential meaning they must be supplied by the diet. While proteins such as whey protein are a good source of BCAA's it takes time to digest whey and then break it down from protein into the individual amino acids within whey.

By consuming Aminolast you get the benefits of BCAA's without the need for the body to break them down. For tough gym sessions that greatly increase the body's requirement for BCAA's using Aminolast both helps with improving performance during long workouts as well as helping set the stage for faster muscle recovery and growth after the workout.

As a final feather in their cap, the use of BCAA's has been shown to help reduce the amount of delayed onset muscle soreness experienced after a workout as well as act to spare the body's use of its own muscle tissue during workouts so that net protein synthesis, ergo muscle gain is increased with regular use of Aminolast.

Better Hydration and Endurance

Aminolast includes a number of minerals and electrolytes which act in concert to improve muscle hydration status and extend performance for users. Given the loss of electrolytes during training, especially cardiovascular training, the addition of this mineral and electrolyte complex really comes into play the higher your training volume.
